Collected Pittosporum

Post by AKVears »

Happy Friday Everyone!

This afternoon I dug out a pretty large Pittosporum, with a wheelbarrow size rootball, and great movement in the trunk. I don't see many of this species used as bonsai though. Any specific reason for it? Or just not popular? Any suggestions on aftercare? Photo to come very shortly. :)

Hi Mate
Are you sure its a pittosporum? The leaves look a little bit large? I have Pittos in my yard and the leaf size is quite small. :?:
